Mating of LVA

Ranger 9 was the last of the Ranger series of spacecraft launched in the 1960s to explore the moon and was designed to image and impact the moon's crater Alphonsus. This video from 1965 includes im...

WE. ARE. NASA. And after 60 years, we're just getting started.

Take a Tour of Asteroid Bennu

On Jan. 22, 2012, the Sun erupted with a solar flare, a coronal mass ejection, and a burst of highly energetic protons known as solar energetic particles.

Striking 3-D detail highlights a towering mountain, the brightest spots and other features on dwarf planet Ceres in a new video from NASA's Dawn mission.

The Sun emitted a significant solar flare on Dec. 19, 2014.  

As the solar wind flows from the sun, it creates a bubble in space known as the "heliosphere" around our solar system.

This colorful spectrogram represents data collected by Cassini's Radio and Plasma Wave Science instrument as it crossed through Saturn's D ring on May 28, 2017.

This rotating mosaic of asteroid Bennu is composed of 40 images captured by the PolyCam imager onboard NASA’s OSIRIS-REx spacecraft over a four-hour period on Dec. 2, 2018.

The six Apollo landing sites are revealed chronologically as the phase and libration of the Moon is shown throughout the Apollo era. 

This animation, made using data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft, shows the topography of Occator crater on Ceres.

Jets of icy particles burst from Saturn's moon Enceladus in this brief movie sequence of four images taken on Nov. 27, 2005.

A mission concept to explore Jupiter's intriguing moon system.

Since the 1960’s, scientists have suspected that frozen water could survive in cold, dark craters at the Moon’s poles. 

What can you see in the December sky? Beautiful pairings of planets and the crescent Moon throughout the month, at sunrise and sunset.

NASA's Cassini has found salt in Saturn's E ring, hinting that the moon Enceladus could have an underground liquid reservoir, perhaps even an ocean.

Cassini mission leads Earl Maize and Linda Spilker talked about the spacecraft's epic journey and science - and the exciting two-part grand finale.

Join us in our search for life beyond Earth.

This graphic shows in a series of three images how Saturn's rings, after they became tilted relative to Saturn's equatorial plane, would have transformed into a corrugated ring.

Explore the process that Johannes Kepler undertook when he formulated his three laws of planetary motion.

Have you ever seen a meteorite streaking across the sky? If so, you may very well have seen part of the asteroid, Vesta!

This animation shows the last 30 seconds of Cassini's X- and S-band radio signals as they disappeared from mission control on Sept. 15, 2017.

What can you see in the April sky? The Moon visits Mars in the evening, and later joins Saturn and Jupiter for a spot of tea. Also, how to find Polaris, the North Star.

This audio clip was created from radio signals received by the radio and plasma wave science instrument on the Cassini spacecraft.

The heavens often seem vast and unchanging as seen from Earth, but movement in the skies is the norm. The relative motions of both Cassini and Enceladus over a 15-minute period create the movement ...
